About These Birds
Indian Peafowl
The Indian peafowl is the national bird of India and one of the most spectacular birds in the world. The peacock's enormous train, which can span over two meters, is used in elaborate courtship displays where the feathers are fanned and vibrated. Despite their size, peafowl can fly short distances and roost in tall trees.
Chestnut-necklaced Partridge
A small Phasianidae partridge (~270 g) of lowland and hill dipterocarp forests in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. Characterised by a chestnut gorget on the upper breast. Forages for seeds and invertebrates in dense understorey. Vulnerable from extensive lowland forest conversion.
